    I’m still thinking LeRhone: The bolt circle diameter is spot on and the other measurements within a plausible margin of error.

    What do the experts on here think?

    OK. The history of the Heine propeller company is well documented and can be found on Wikipedia: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellerwerk_Heine “Waidmannslust” refers to the area of Berlin where the Heine factory was located.

    The markings on the hub are hard to read in your photographs but I think I can make out the word “RHONE” underneath “110 PS”.
    This suggests to me that this propeller was made to fit the LeRhone 9J engine, of 110 HP, which was built in Germany under licence by Oberusel during WW1. It is said that the Germans also made use of captured French-built LeRhone engines, so this might have been made for one of them..

    These engines were fitted to a variety of aircraft in German service, most famously the Fokker DR1 Triplane.

    Any chance you could post some high-resolution photos showing all of the markings on the propeller hub?

    Also, if you could measure and post the dimensions of:

    Hub thickness
    Hub diameter
    Bolt hole size
    Bolt circle diameter
    Centre bore diameter (if possible)

    That would be very helpful in confirming the identification.
